Lawsuit Abuse
Doctors tell us that they order more tests and procedures than are really necessary. Why? Because they are afraid of lawsuits. Many specialties such as obstetrics and neuro-surgery have such high malpractice premiums that they limit their practices. This results in patients not finding specialty doctors when they need them.Tort reform is the concept for changing the law that will then change malpractice insurance costs that will then change the behavior on the part of physicians. Tort reform means that doctors are looking for a more reasonable approach to dealing with true mistakes on their parts. They believe that the current system of trial lawyers and juries sensationalizes errors in medicine and surgery. The end result is exorbatant awards to the injured. The physicians response to this phenomena is to "cover their decisions" by over ordering and diagnosing conditions. This adds unnecessary costs to the entire health system.

"I congratulate Senator Dan Webster on his victory in the Republican primary and we look forward to a meaningful discussion of the issues facing this District and the nation.

The Republican Party of Florida and tea party activists are up to dirty tricks. They are using lies, the courts, and the media to discredit me and to allege I am conspiring to take Republican voters away from Republican candidates. TRUE! Newsflash: Elections are about taking votes away from certain candidates and getting them to vote for others. DUH. I am on the side of truth. I stand for freedom, truth and honesty. The dirty tricks operators do not.
